Israel Strikes Lebanon Day After Peace Agreement; Hezbollah Vows Continued Pressure

Israel has launched an airstrike on Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the pro-Iranian militant group Hezbollah, just one day after signing a framework peace agreement with Lebanon.

Israel explained that the strike was aimed at a "terror suspect deemed a threat" and announced that it had "ordered a long-term deployment in the security zone in southern Lebanon."

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem issued a statement immediately following the Israeli attack, claiming that the framework peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon was "a surrender of sovereignty" and therefore invalid.

He added, "We will continue to exert pressure until Israel withdraws from Lebanon."

While the memorandum of understanding on ending the war, signed between the United States and Iran, includes the cessation of military operations on all fronts including Lebanon, the ongoing clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have been identified as a factor destabilizing the ceasefire.
